《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 894. One Can Only Grow With Experience

At this moment, the Holy Flame that Fearless sent out slowly drifted and found its target as he landed squarely on Treasure Hunter Goblin’s head.
“Attack!”
Seeing that Treasure Hunter Goblin had triggered the flame trap and was silenced, Fearless immediately signaled the rest to attack. The players immediately began their assault.
Treasure Hunter Goblin was so crafty and devious. As he saw that the situation turning grave, he flashed out the dagger that he had previously stolen away from Frost Blade. First, he hacked away at the leg that was being tangled. Next, he clutched his chest in his arms and with only one foot, he sped away in the distance.
Although he had only one foot and his speed had decreased significantly from its peak state, his speed was still not what most players could hope to match. In the blink of an eye, the incoming player attacks were easily dodged by Treasure Hunter Goblin.
“Clack…”
There was the sonorous sound of traps getting activated in the distance. The players saw that Treasure Hunter Goblin was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Treasure Hunter Goblin simply looked like a fool in his sorry state when he was encapsulated in a thick block of ice.
Wang Yu swiftly went up to him and with one smooth motion, he smashed apart the ice sculpture. He also shattered Treasure Hunter Goblin’s other remaining leg to prevent any chance of escape.
“We caught it just like that?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire’s expression turned 180 degrees instantly as his heart welled up with happiness and some surprise. Treasure Hunter Goblin was there before him beaten and broken, akin to a dead dog.
Although Treasure Hunter Goblin other attributes were rubbish, his speed was too godlike. As what Fearless had mentioned before, if Treasure Hunter Goblin did not actively want to be captured, no one could even touch him.
Thinking about it, this made sense because Treasure Hunter Goblin was a sentient NPC after all. Even an ordinary boss would not be so foolish.

However, Fearless had actually thought of an ingenious idea to use a bait. This was to force Treasure Hunter Goblin into action instead of passively running around. Fearless had indeed a fearsome strategic mind. He could think of such a ploy under pressuring circumstances.
In particular, the traps placements and type were so well thought out. Fearless could even anticipate Treasure Hunter Goblin’s escape route. Was this man still a human?
With one super strong skilled martial artist, coupled with a strategic genius… Adding on to that with a group of expert players, Quan Zhen Sect was truly a force to be reckoned with. It was no coincidence that Quan Zhen Sect could match all the other powerful guilds in Twilight City.
Thinking back on the time when he wanted to bully Quan Zhen Sect to make a name for himself, Captain Don’t Open Fire shivered in fear at that thought.
“Is there any problem Captain Don’t Open Fire?” Fearless walked towards Goblin’s side and retrieved the sealed treasure chest and replied, “I have used the treasure chest, after all. Your gold coins were not wasted.”
“No… I don’t mean it that way…” Captain Don’t Open Fire quickly waved away his prior worries.
Captain Don’t Open Fire was thoroughly convinced by Fearless’ methods. He did not dare harp on the issue of money…
Captain Don’t Open Fire was a businessman at heart, he wanted something to be done properly when he paid for it. On the basis of Quan Zhen Sect’s might, even if their prices were high, their assistance was worth every penny.
“If there is no problem, go and collect the goods!” Fearless chuckled and gave way to Captain Don’t Open Fire.
As the leader, Captain Don’t Open Fire had to be the one to collect whatever they needed from Treasure Hunter Goblin’s body.
Captain Don’t Open Fire approached Treasure Hunter Goblin cautiously and kicked him viciously to soothe the anger in his heart. He growled, “You garbage, not running now, are you?”

Captain Don’t Open Fire was trying to get back at Treasure Hunter Goblin for his previous insults. As the saying goes, an eye for an eye.
Surprisingly, Treasure Hunter Goblin did not display his indignation at all. He hugged tightly on Captain Don’t Open Fire’s thigh, with mucus and tears all over his face, he cried, “Hero, spare me, I will never dare to do it again.”
Treasure Hunter Goblin was worthy of being a sentient NPC. He could change his attitude in an instance and this performance was enough to move the hearts of the players.
“Hmm?”
It was Captain Don’t Open Fire first time in dealing with such an awkward situation, he turned back and glanced at Fearless.
This kind of behaviour was expected out of a sentient BOSS. Fearless’s intentions were just to swiftly kill off the BOSS and not pay any more attention to it. Ming Du quickly interjected, “What benefits can you give us if we decide to spare you?”
“As long as you spare me, I can give you all the prized treasures in my sack!” As soon as he saw a way out, Treasure Hunter Goblin quickly tempted them with such an offer.
“Is that the case?” Ming Du smiled lightly and nodded, “That is fine but you’ll have to give us the treasures first.”
“Here… For you.” Treasure Hunter Goblin brought down the sack on his back and passed it to Ming Du. “Is this even possible?”
Seeing that Ming Du had actually bargained with the BOSS, Captain Don’t Open Fire had once again opened his horizons.
After Ming Du pocketed the sack, he had a total change in his expression. He waved his staff and violently struck it down on the vulnerable Goblin. Goblin was instantly smashed into a heap of blood.
“This… What is the meaning of this?” Ming Du had suddenly moved and struck Goblin, leaving behind a stunned crowd.
Ming Du coldly replied, “He lied to me once, I lied to him this time, now we are even!”
“Are you not afraid that the BOSS system won’t pursue this matter?” Captain Don’t Open Fire had never seen such a daring player.
Although the game allowed players to kill steal and pillage, it was also a game with certain rules.
“Them pursuing the matter?” Fearless smiled indifferently as used his staff and pointed to Treasure Hunter Goblin hand and executed a spell.
[Hidden Curse]: Completely removes a divine weapon item in 200 seconds (Not available for Quest Item)
Ming Du also proceeded to empty the contents of Goblin’s sack on the floor.
Treasure Hunter Goblin truly did not live up to his name. He was more like a scavenger than a treasure hunter. Most of his loots were worthless.
Captain Don’t Open Fire saw the mess on the ground and finally understood…
At his death door, Goblin still wanted to lie. Luckily, Ming Du had unhesitatingly killed him off or he would have been cheated off by him again.
Sure enough, a smart BOSS was too unreliable.
“How did you know he did not have anything good in his sack?” Captain Don’t Open Fire could not help but ask.
Fearless replied, “Nonsense, if you have no ability other than to run, will you still run around carrying things that are valuable?”
“That makes sense!” Captain Don’t Open Fire nodded his head and said, “Why do I feel that you are so experienced in this aspect?”
Captain Don’t Open Fire also realised at this point that, no matter how cunning the NPCs were in this dungeon, the bunch from Quan Zhen Sect did not fall for their tricks at all.
Wang Yu let out a long sigh and started rambling on philosophically, “Only through experiences can one grow. During this process of growth, it comes at the price of countless tears.”
